 Hello folk,
could anyone please do a lookup for me re a  QSP???
I am told this is a Quarter Sessions Petition.
Reference number  QSP/3152/46 
Title  Bill of costs of prosecution of Robert Beesley
Date  c1841
Access  this material is available to view at Lancashire Archives by anybody holding a valid reader's ticket.

thankyou so much!!

I cant myself look it up,

but is it the same William Beesley who is brought before Salford sessions
for stealing lead
aged 25
1888,
found not guilty
and again before the courts in 1840
leditious conspiracy,?
found guilty and discharged with sureties

Hi Radcliff, I dont think it would be the same. I am hoping it is a petition by a Robert Beesley who has paid for court proceedings in relation to the father of his daughters illegitimate children.
Hopefully it is for the trial  of a Thomas Hardiker who did not pay maintenance for his illegitimate children  and was sent to prison in Lancaster Gaol for 6 months.
I dont know how to get a hold of this  QSP other than  organizing a family historian to search the archives  in Prestons petty sessions records.
Any suggestions on how to acquire these documents regarding said trial in 1841 would be most appreciated.
regards Karen
